Daimler Truck(Daimler Truck) introduced graph database technology for the spin-off of its subsidiaries, which has been transformed into an internal achievement that enhances overall IT infrastructure visibility and efficiency. During the separation from Mercedes-Benz in 2021, Daimler needed to split over 1,500 IT systems and applications that had been cross-dependent for decades. This is a large-scale project affecting 100,000 employees worldwide, 55,000 dealerships, and 6,000 business partners.
In the past, the company only recorded assets through a simple Configuration Management Database(CMDB), but it severely lacked information reflecting the interaction structures or connection relationships between systems in the actual environment. To address these complex IT dependency issues, Daimler turned to graph technology. Ultimately, the company adopted Neo4j's graph database and combined it with network traffic analysis of enterprise telemetry data from ExtraHop, visualizing real-time operational relationships as nodes
